This is an 1870s pen-and-ink engraving of an otterhound doing the one thing the breed was famous for - sitting down on his haunches at the water's edge and singing out the moment he strikes a scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe otterhound is the rough-coated English scent hound, a direct descendant of the old southern hound with a hard outer coat and a thick woolly undercoat that kept him warm through a long day in cold rivers. He hunted low and slow but very sure, with a nose so tender he could own an otter's air bubble from yards away. Subscription packs hunted the summer rivers of Cumberland, Northumberland, Wales and Devon, and hounds like this one - a prize-winner of the 1870s, drawn from life - were the pride of the sport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOtter hunting is long gone and the otterhound very nearly went with it; today it is one of the rarest recognized breeds in the world, kept alive by a few hundred devoted households. Anyone who has lived with one, or with any big shaggy hound, knows the type: the webbed feet, the beard that drips on everything, the deep voice used at all hours. This ornament is for those dogs. Celebrate the hound who runs your house, or keep one close on the tree every December.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe art is a public-domain engraving, cleaned and fitted to a three-inch faceted crystal glass round and white-backed so the ink lines read sharp against a lit tree. The faceted edge catches light from every angle. Arrives boxed - your choice of white or gold gift box at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor otterhound people, for hound people, for anyone with a dog worth an ornament, and for the friend who is still talking about theirs.

This 3-inch faceted crystal ornament carries a public-domain 1870s pen-and-ink engraving of an otterhound - the rough-coated English scent hound - sitting back on his haunches at the water's edge and giving tongue on the scent.

The original is in the public domain; we cleaned the linework and fitted it to the crystal round so the ink reads sharp against the lights.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Is it a good gift for a dog lover or a pet memorial ornament?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Both. It celebrates the hound who runs the house - otterhound, any scent hound, or any shaggy dog - and many buyers choose it as a dog memorial ornament or pet remembrance keepsake. The engraving is undated and the dog is unnamed on the ornament, so it fits either purpose.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What size is the ornament and does it come gift-boxed?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"It is a 3-inch (76 mm) round in solid crystal glass with a faceted gem-cut edge; the art is UV-printed on a white-backed face and hangs from a red ribbon.
